     Complaint: ********

    I am rejecting this response because:

    I am still getting notices that I owe money - I need a dated letter to state I'm paid in full.  

    Regards,

    ***************************************

    f that day. I said how is that possible since my system was taken out of my house the week prior - If someone was "monitoring" shouldn't I get a call that my system was removed? The agent had no answer. I checked my account and had a $0 balance - (never paid late in the 6 plus years I had vector as a company) HOWEVER I have received letters for past due amounts in the amount of $60.23, $180.79, $161,22 and I got my finial notice on 3/4.23 for $125.84. After calling in multiple times over hours on the phone I was given ******************************* in accounting - She said my bill is absolutely wrong and stated it should be $54.95 - The 4th or 5th different amount I was given after I was told I was paid in full. I agreed to pay the amount just for the issue to go away. ******** sent me an email that I was again - Paid in full. I again got a letter for amount past due of $125.84 that has my $54.95 payment was included. I reached out to ******** 3/6/23 again and she stated I was good but to "Please call us to speak with someone regarding bill. Thank you!" Then soon after emailed me back stating I was paid in full. This company is an absolute mess - I don't want to see a bill go to a collection especially when I don't have a bill! I have all the emails and letters - I also called form my work phone that is recorded. I have everything showing I am paid in full including multiple emails. I don't know what to do.

    Your account is paid in full and no other money is due.

    I have had no communication from the company.  Vector has stated that my bill has been paid in full several times, However I have still received bills in the past with different amounts due.   I requested to have a letter sent to me from them stating its paid in full to protect my credit from any of their future billing issues.

     Complaint: ********

    I am rejecting this response because:

    Vector has emailed me a letter stating account is paid in however its generic and does not include my full name or account number.  The letter is also not signed.   This is something I could make.   This does not suffice.   I want to make sure I am protected from any negative credit hits or collections from this company due to their poor service and account management.  My account was never past due and always paid for the length of my entire contract.   

    Regards,

     Complaint: ********

    I am rejecting this response because:

    Sales representative never talked to me about a 5 year agreement. He asked for my information to sign up for services and told me to sign on his tablet. Why would they have an agreement with third party sales team and not be held accountable for their practices. I think it's unfair to the consumer where a 5 year term is never mentioned during sales pitch. My intention for the property was to rent in 4 years which I have done. I received a call to confirm whether or not I was going to pay in full or keep the service and pay monthly. I was not advised the call was in response to my BBB complaint, I was told I should have read the terms that were emailed to me after I signed the agreement because I had 3 days to cancel, which is another point that was not discussed during sales pitch. I think your company has accepted a malicious sales practice with third party they contract for getting new business. And they justify it by saying they are not responsible for what sales team does and trap the consumer into a contract. I am asking what is fair, canceling a service I am not using without penalty. I am NOT asking for a refund. 

    Regards,

    *****************************

    call this company and request their service, I did not find them online, this man knocked on my door. I shouldn't have to pay for a service I am not using and cannot transfer since I do not have my own home. My plan for this property was to turn it into a rental in less than 4 years which I have done. I want what's fair and a full cancelation without charges fees penalties and they can pickup their equipment. Respectfully, *****************************
